New YORK, Mar. 2S.-The movement
In the stock market, which began late last
week, made further progress to-day, the
market, for the first time this year, showing
all the indications Of a genuine bull move
ment. It was the first really active day for
many weeks, anj while there was nothing
like q boom In any one stock or group o.
stocks steady. though slow appreciation
OF values lasted nearly the entire day. The
buying was remarkably well distributed,
nothing seemingly being neglected, and
while the traders INDUCED in some realizing
on their purchases OF the past few days,
there was some buying with fair inquiry
from outof-town operators and fair de
mand from foreigners.
The rates for money showed q hardening
tendency, and were bid up to 7per cent.
late in the day, which with extensive reali
cations caused q material reaction from the
best figures. The market was decidedly
strong and active at the opening, FIRST
prices showing advances over Saturdays
final figures OF from to 4 per cent. There
was some hesitation In the early trading,
but the entire list soon became strong,
under the lead OF Canada Southern. The
Improvement was slow but steady, and con
tinued without interruption until 9 2p. m,
when the market became somewhat quieter,
and general fractional reaction ensued.
The market steadied In the last hour, aud
the close was quiet but barely steady, at
fractional recessions Of the best prices Of
the day.
